This web 2.0 tool is from http://www.bubbl.us/. This tool allows students to brainstorm using bubbles. This will be helpful in sorting their thoughts and ideas. Bubbles can be used to sort information before writing a paper as well. By using this tool students can sort and categorize information so that their writing flows and has structure. Also, students can use this tool as they read a story to list characters and the key events that happen to each character or use it to make a story map. This tool was easy to use. After creating the graph students can save their work by creating an account. Students can also add "friends" to their account that can then read and comment on their fellow friends' graphs. This would be ideal for peer editing as well as working together for group projects.

This web tool offers many options for classroom projects. Students can add effects to a favorite picture that they can display along with a piece of writing explaining their picture. This would be a fun and creave way for students to create a writing piece that was unique from their classmatesand all their own. As a teacher I could use this web tool to design or make pictures for specific lessons. The web tool was easy to use and very quick at transforming images. There are effects that have themes, are seasonal or even some that can be made into activities, like puzzles. The options are endless with this web tool.
